Hi there, I would be interested in joining the Smart Meter rollout if there are still places available. I signed up this evening and the transfer from Co-op is underway. I have no Smart Meter currently.

I have moved from EON to Bulb and as expected the Smart meter I had fitted by EON only partially functions now. I also noticed that the EON Gas meter reading on the remote pad reads in Kwh, but Bulb requires the reading in Cubic Meters so I still have to scrabble around under the stairs to get the correct reading from the meter, Could you add me to your 2nd Generation trial please, You will save my knees, the mess of clearing out under the stairs to get to the meter and fights with my dogs who also want to see what is so interesting in the under stair cupboard each time! :-)

P.S. Loving the service and cost reductions so far. I should have switched much sooner. Keep up the great work!

I'm sure I have put my name down on a list somewhere, to request a smart meter from you lovely bunch, but I just want to make sure I'm on this list here. As it looks like a popular and intensely growing thread.

The company I work for a heavily involved in the infrastructure for Smart Metering (not my dept though).

It would be nice to get away from the ancient dial electricity meter I have, and in return i'll provide you feedback on the smart meters EMC performance in close proximity to radiocommunications equipment

just signed up for your vari-i-fair tariffbeen with SSE over the last year and their new tariffs are way too highI did have smart meters installed by them late last year and have been told that they are SMETS2 meters that can be software upgraded to be cross-provider compatible. However it requires that I have an active service with them in order for them to download the upgradeNow, they basically said I need not hold my breath on when this upgrade could occur and industry past trends are it may not occur anytime soon.

I have valued the smart meter functionality and being able to see and "pay as I consume". However, I do feel it is a waste to replace perfectly good meters even if its free (or rather subsidised by the UK public), so as much as I am tempted to ask for a bulb smart meter, I may also just swap over to SSE for a month or two (standard tariff) once they start upgrading and during summer months, and perhaps come back to bulb once its done. Guess I will have to forego the smart meter convenience until then but just be comforted in that my tariff is almost 300 quid cheaper!

@daryah - SMETS 2 meters have not been through the required testing yet and so are not being rolled out at the moment. I suspect that what they have installed are SMETS 1 meters which the Data Communications Company (or DCC) are working on integrating with the same communications system that SMETS 2 will use.

Their target on this being ready was late 2018 but this may be subject to change.

Just swapped to Bulb and was on smart meter with BG previously. Didn't realise that wouldn't automatically get smart meter with Bulb. Can you please add me to the list as don't want hassle of having to read meter all the time. Many thanks Sarah

Seems like you probably have quite a long list of people waiting to trial the smart meters, but I'd like to be added too.

I live in a flat in converted 6 floor regency property. The electricity meter is on the same floor as the flat, but the gas meter is in a cellar downstairs, outside, and under the pavement. So far I've not been able to get a smart meter due to my meters not being on the same floor as each other or the flat.

Also, we currently have an Economy 7 meter, but really want to switch to a single rate meter, as our day usage is much higher than out nighttime usage (and we can't really change this, as we mostly work from home, so will have high daytime usage), and so we really end up paying a lot more due to having an Economy 7 meter. Our previous supplier said we'd need to pay to switch to a single rate meter, unless we got a smart meter, but that we couldn't get a smart meter, as we were in a flat.
